HELP! My plant is dying...

Hi everyone. I need your help. I've had this plant for 4 years. It was less than half it's size when I bought it. My plant was knocked down a couple of months ago. Prior to this, it was completely healthy and lush. The leaves have turned brown and fallen off except for the new growth on top.

Is there a way to cut the stalk down. It's leaning and can't support the weight of the leaves on top. Also, is there a way to make a cutting of this plant in case it dies?

Thank you!

Re: HELP! My plant is dying...

HI There .. air layering is about the best way to re root the plant if you are gonna cut it .. you might try a stick to help support .. but also try banging the pot on the floor to knock all the dirt back under all the roots in the bottom of the pot .. sometimes when it gets knocked over there can be an air pocket wich will cause the plant to not grow .. so give it a couple of good bangs and water it .. and see what happens ..

good luck

Marn
